Penguin seeks reunion with the man who saved his life







Today’s most heartwarming story is brought to you from a beach in Brazil. It’s the story of a South American Magellanic penguin who swims 5,000 miles each year to be reunited with the man who saved his life. Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the tiny penguin, covered in oil and close to death, lying on rocks on his local beach in 2011. Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to build his strength. He named him Dindim.
For the past five years, Dindim has spent eight months of the year with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding off the coast of Argentina and Chile. It’s thought he swims up to 5,000 miles each year to be reunited with the man who saved his life. March 9 http://goo.gl/nkU19d





The news comes to us on the very day  of the solar eclipse which is placed very significantly square the horizon axis at Rio and as part of a T-square.  Eclipses are packed with layers and layers of meaning. They create events  through the various elements that they emphasize in the mundane  chart.

The eclipse is placed among the stars of the humanitarian Water Pourer. The Southern Fish is usually depicted on star maps at the feet of Aquarius, where it swallows up the water poured from his urn. This image is an obvious reference to a developed human being’s compassion for all life.

Here the eclipse is conjunct the asteroid Ceres and Memoria and quincunx Astraea Keyphrases for the asteroids provided by Martha Wescott [1] are given below.

ASTRAEA: an inability to read beginnings and endings or to “let go” of things, people or events
MEMORIA: memories.
CERES: The need for nurturing; food; the relationship between mother & child; issues of “taking care of” people, plants and animals.

The combination  can be interpreted as :


One has never gotten over or has been unable to resolve childhood memories of being nurtured by a parent.
